I was getting scared that perhaps coming off the meds was letting this 'panic disorder' return. I'm relieved to see others having these side effects.
From my experience, I stopped taking my Paxil cold turkey... Not a 'wise' thing to do, but I figured I'd grin and bear the withdrawls every few days to get it out of my system faster. I haven't been able to go maybe 4 days without feeling like I HAVE to take it.
I haven't been able to go maybe 4 days without feeling like I HAVE to take it.
I just can't imagine weaning off such a high dose of paxil over the course of months or maybe a year. Torture is what that sounds like. Either way, it's my way and works for me. I'd rather get the blood levels out of me quicker. I have found the whole experience of being on Paxil to be somewhat of a hinderance. I wasn't destructive or anything but I certainly lost any sort of drive to achieve anything. I just kind of existed and stopped living. I didn't care about my family, social life, my career or anything that matters. I'll be damned if I lose any more time over it.
